Why

[old salt]

    1. I know that it can a big hassle to get the time to do the research when you have a full time job or two and a family that keeps you running full time.
    2. I am retired and need something to keep me out of trouble.
   I can not guarantee that I will be able to find every request, or that it will be fast, but I will do my best. Summer time will be slowest as I plan on doing some traveling.
   Please remember that I need your questions.
Thank You

Thanks oldsalt
I do have a request
I need some reading info available on the web about life, clothing and occupations in 1810-1820 in North Mississippi
Specifically around the OLD Houlka area and the Chickasaw Agency along the Natchez Trace in what is now Chickasaw, Lee and Pontotoc counties
Any pointers appreciated
My persona is developing around a state employed surveyor/hunter in 1817-1820ish North Mississippi as county and property lines are drawn and communities settled 
Thank You
Jerry
